We had an absolute blast at Kure beach last week! We returned to the same house, which just makes vacationing so lovely. We know where everything is, and it's become a second home at this point. They had also made some very lovely upgrades to the kitchen and bathrooms. Evan was most excited by the addition of a shell basket:
In addition to great shells, he caught a bunch of these tiny crabs:
Issa stuck to her shells.
Another new addition this year was Kai for part of the week! They day he arrived, the three of us headed to the aquarium:
He loves aquariums as much as I do, and I had fun third wheeling with these two cuties:
Aunt Shannon also did a whole photoshoot for them:
He headed home Wednesday, but the whole family went back to the aquarium Thursday:
The otters will always be my favorite, but I was also delighted by the horseshoe crabs this trip:
Friday we finally managed to get our beach tent perfect:
It was a whole family beach day:
And for the first time ever I went to the beach without getting a sunburn!
Aunt Shannon gifted the kids Lego sets to build throughout the week. This car about took Evan out:
It has so many moving parts! Notre Dame was shockingly not bad, though:
Our last night there we headed to the beach for some family pictures:
This may be my favorite sibling picture ever:
And Brad and I were laughing so hard because the ocean surprised me:
The whole week was filled with small delights: family card games, dinners around the table, new books, porch naps. Time to just be. It was such a gift.
